WildGPS Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Great drawing! Your dog brings up something that I have been thinking about a lot as I play recently. Could it be possible, down the road, to introduce domestication into TLD? We could lure wolves with tasty bits of raw meat and cage them. After feeding a caged wolf for a few days or a solid week, they start to become loyal. At 50% loyal, the wolf won't attack, but may run away if released. At 75% they won't attack or run away, but can not be commanded. At 100% loyalty it will attack another animal that tries to attack the protagonist. Maybe this whole process takes a week, maybe an entire month, but in the end you have a loyal companion in your journeys. Also, depending on what animals are later released we could domesticate sort some of goat or sheep to milk and/or harvest wool? Or perhaps a Turkey or some bird to harvest feathers and eggs?

Dirmagnos Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Domestication of wild animals takes decades(if not centuries) and multiple generations. @WildGPS What you referring 2 is called habituation and you do not want to go there. As unless player is an expert in the field of animal behavior, hel end up with his pets feasting on him. Even best case scenario is that animals will merely tolerate him, but will still attack if feel threatened. Feeding wolf a for a week or even a month will do jackshit. At best youl get an animal that takes a second(instead of doing it instantly) before going for the throat. Player best bet is to find a dog that was left behind by fleeing inhabitants of this area. That one could be made friendly with feeding it and providing shelter and protection. But wolf...just lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildGPS Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Perhaps you are right, @Dirmagnos. "Habituating" with a wild carnivore might be asking for trouble. I'm still holding out hope for starting a chicken (or turkey, or quail...) coop, though Regardless, sorry for hijacking your topic, @Docterrok. That is a great drawing.

Dirmagnos Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Predators are a no-no. But herbivores or birds...why not. After all, you dont need to be a friend with chicken to exploit use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docterrok Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 But what about walking sticks, increase speed or increase load bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexandraRussia Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The walking stick is convenient when the foot is damaged. And the dog is needed in the game, because there is dog food, and there is something to feed), animal meat is the most. And it was possible to make a bed for a dog from the skin of a wolf or a bear).
